Slim by summer and for good....

[Kat1e]

All sounds lovely except for the atkins bars - I'm afraid I think they are yuck altho I admit they were a lifesaver in the early days! My special sweet treat of choice is 70-80% dark chocolate but only a square or 2 & not every day

Have a great sunday!

Hi, just been having a read of your diary and you're doing great. Your food sounds lovely too. Im on exante at the moment but will be switching to atkins once I get down to about 12 stone I think. I started at 13st11lb on the 3rd January and I was 13st1lb this morning. Still a long way to go before I can switch but I'll keep popping in to see how you're doing :0)

 

[fitforafb]

Thanks for the recipe. Which cocktail sausages are you eating as i thought they were high in carbs?

I sooooooooo can't wait to switch to atkins!

Not too bad if you only have a couple. I think 4 have about 5g of carbs in and that and a bit of cheese are a great snack to keep you full. I'm loving Atkins so far but keep at the VLCD it's a great way to lose a big chunk of weight in a short space of time
